Our scoring

How we rate a park

Every score out of ten is our own — built from three things that actually decide whether a day out is worth it.

1

Thrills & Rides

Coaster line-ups, world-firsts, ride variety and how well the big-ticket attractions actually hold up on the day.

2

Family & Kids

Toddler zones, gentle rides, shows, shade and how easy a full day is with little ones in tow.

3

Value & Access

Ticket pricing, multi-day and annual passes, getting there, and what you really get for the money.
